Baseball season is in full swing (har har), and even if you don’t like it you can’t help but appreciate our pastime’s terms and sayings. More than any other sport, baseball has such a fun, creative way of putting complicated plays and situations into words. We thought it would be a helpful exercise to apply these terms to another complex, unpredictable facet of life – dating and relationships. A start to the list follows with links that help show term in baseball action. I’m sure we’re missing quite a few; just add ‘em to the comments and soon we’ll have an index to be reckoned with. Play ball!

1. Fielder’s choice - that rare, rare situation in which you can choose between multiple suitors of decent quality. Of course, 99% of the time you end up dropping the ball anyway, resulting in getting charged with an….

2. Error - a blatant mistake that often tips the scales out of your favor, or is a factor in your self-destructive relationship patterns.  In baseball, in error is unforced – ie. not caused by an opposing player; the situation is the same here, that is, you only have yourself to blame*.
* in lieu of blaming yourself, you can and should blame your parents.

3. Foul ball - applies to kissing. A foul ball is either an attempted make-out kiss that gets rejected or a make-out kiss that’s bad for any number of reasons (foul breath, foul technique, foul noises, etc.)

4. Wheelhouse -
 in baseball, when a pitch is thrown inside of a batter’s comfort zone, usually leading to a hit, the pitch was thrown “in his wheelhouse”. In this case, if a person is in your wheelhouse they are your “type”, usually physically. So if you’re into guys with skullets, and you’re friend is setting you up with someone with one, they might say, “he is SO in your wheelhouse!”

5. Sacrifice fly - sleeping with someone you generally wouldn’t just to get on base and break your dry spell.

6. First base - making out (guys and girls)

7. Second base – hands on breasts (guys); hands on butt (girls)

>  Stealing second (successful) - when, after pushing the guy’s hand away several times, the girl finally lets him touch her boobs without interruption.

> Stealing second (unsuccessful) - when, after repeated attempts to touch breast, the girl gets fed up and tells the guy to get lost. Out!

8. Third base – HJ (girl); FF (guy)

9. Homerun – sex.

10. Grand slam – sex that includes more than two people or involves animals of any kind.

11. The bullpen - the bullpen are your reserve pitchers who are generally not good enough to start the game but will help out when the starter is struggling or worn out. In this case, your bullpen is the second tier love interests you call up when your first choice isn’t working out for whatever reason. A good bullpen is readily available and will understand when you need to send them back.
